Default What would you like made out of carbon fiber?

I am going to be producing some parts in the near future. What types of products would you want?

looking for an idea of what to focus our preliminary pieces on.

carbon fiber front bumper ( if they dont already make one) That way the CF hood and CF fenders wont look so dorky on a car that isnt black.

Carbon fiber winshield cowl. that thingy that sits on the bottom part of your windshield that covers the wiper motor and linkage.

I think it would be cool to have a Carbon Fiber sunroof insert. It'd be nice to be able to remove my heavy glass sunroof and replace it with a cf insert. They already make them out of fiberglass but I think a CF one would be even nicer.

Aerogear already makes a full CF front bumper, along with CF fenders and hood.

Some of the things I've already made for my car that others might want are:
gas door, fuel filter bracket, battery plate/ hold down bracket, visors, ECU cover plate, that's it so far.

1) The tail gate to my 93 h/b. No dent for the plate and no spot for inner piece tail lamps.

2) I would go for the front bumper/fenders/hood. Just make sure you guys make them in a better quality than Aerogear. The average CF hood is $430-$520. Aerogear's in $380. Makes me think about quality.

3) Ok, this isn't CF, but one piece headlamps for the EG/EH. My Shark Eyes projectors didn't fit up right next to my corner lamps.
